3D printing has done some pretty amazing things\u00a0such as create bone replacements and skull implants.\u00a0 However, most 3D printers in libraries do not make items quite of this caliber but it is\u00a0still no less amazing.\u00a0 Just think\u00a0about what computers and the Internet and cell phones were like a few years ago and where they are now.\u00a0 3D printing is much the same.\u00a0 Just a few short years ago most people couldn’t imagine having one at their public or academic library and now many institutions offer this service in some form or other.\u00a0 It’s not unusual to find a 3D printer and other tools in makerspaces and hackerspaces which offer an opportunity for people to gather and create.\u00a0 Why have a 3D printer service?\u00a0 Considering offering a 3D printer service?\u00a0 Have you already joined the world of 3D printing?\u00a0 Join us next Wednesday, July 15 at 1:00pm Pacific Time (noon Alaska 2 PM Mountain)\u00a0to hear about the 3D printing pilot project undertaken by the University of Washington Health Sciences Library.\u00a0 Terry Ann Jankowski, Assistant Director of User Experience and Paul Ludecke, Computer Commons Manager, describe what they did, what they learned, what they would do differently and what they hope to do in the future. <\/p>\n
